Details

Normal Unix programs pick up updates to /etc/resolv.conf. So, for example, if I
have programs running and I plug in my DHCP-using laptop into a new network, the
program can look things up without having to restart.

This isn't the case for Mozilla. Start your laptop unplugged and with an empty
/etc/resolv.conf. Fire up Mozilla. Note that it can't find your start page. Plug
into the network. Note that /etc/resolv.conf was updated by DHCP. Notice that
Mozilla still can't find any pages.
